Program Details

Welcome to my house. Our house is in Hangzhou located beside a famous scenic spot called Shangougou scenic area. This town is surrounded by mountains, lush jungles, bamboos, and vast rice fields. During your free time, you can visit the nearby 4A scenic attractions, which are within walking distance. And we would like to introduce you to the local culture and will help organize your visits to places worth visiting nearby the town.

In the bamboo harvest season, we have a bamboo forest in the mountains where we can teach you how to identify and dig up bamboo shoots. During the tea picking season, we can also instruct you on how to pick tea leaves.

You can take Subway from the airport to Hangzhou West Railway Station, then we can pick you up there. We provide a separate room with a separate bathroom equipped with an air - conditioner, so you can enjoy your own private space. Facilities at home such as WIFI, washing machine and dryer are available for you to use. Meanwhile, we provide three meals a day and unlimited snacks. They are all cooked by my wonderful mother, who used to be a chef in a restaurant.

I am an electronic commerce operation, and uesed to be a TV show director. My husband is an engineer in Tiktok. We have a 5-year-old boy. We are very friendly.

I am looking for one volunteer to help teaching my boy, or do some housework. If you can teach play musical instruments, sports or languages, you are the one we want. People who have full experience of taking care of chile are very welcome. When the child is not around, you can help with some housework, such as cooking and washing dishes.

Activities & Shift

The minimum stay is 7 days. 4 hours of your labor in exchange for three meals a day and accommodation. These 4 hours can be continuous or split into two sessions, and the time can be in the morning or evening.

The positions in Hangzhou and Shanghai are generally not available simultaneously. We are mostly in Hangzhou during summer and winter vacations, and mostly in Shanghai at other times.

Rules

Please note that we need volunteers who are serious and responsible for their work and abide by the time arrangements. Since we have lots of interaction with children, we prefer someone healthy. These three points are very important to us. In addition, smoking is prohibited indoors. Thank you for your understanding.
